Vibrasto "evolution 15, 30 and 55

Stretched and anchored acoustic material

Vibrastoévolution is an acoustic covering which may be stretched and anchored into position over a wide variety of surfaces, such as walls or ceilings. Just like the human skin, Texaa®‘s Vibrasto is a composite material made up of three successive layers, with each playing their own specific role.
–The epidermis, or outer layer, is formed by our sound transparent fabric Aeria*, so easy on the eye and available in a range of vibrant colours.
–The dermis, or middle layer, is a thin layer of 3 mm wadding ensuring that the Aeria is totally opaque and therefore capable of hiding anything positioned behind.
–The hypodermis, or lower layer, comprises the sound absorbers which make Vibrasto so efficient in terms of acoustic performance. The sound absorbers are either RI panels (impregnated glass wool) or AF2 absorbent felt, depending on specific situations.
Depending on the level of acoustic performance required, the thickness of the sound absorbers used in the Vibrasto varies. A thickness of either 10 mm, 25 mm or 50 mm normally suffices in ordinary situations, but greater depths are also available. It is also possible to use other sound absorbing materials if desired, such as vegetable fibre wools or recycled textiles, for example.

Product soon available in United States in Gris Brun, Nacre, Ecru, Gris argent and Gris ciel color.

Technical information

Vibrasto 15 provides a comprehensive system for solving acoustic problems in echoing spaces, for use on walls and ceilings. It comprises a highly flame resistant, covering made of sound transparent Aeria* fabric, laminated onto wadding and stretch-fitted in front of an light sound-absorbing material. This flexible and simple solution is ideal for covering large surface areas, even curved surfaces, and delivers a perfect finish at a manageable cost.

Fitting methods
The fabric covering is installed by stretching it between battens in front of 10-mm thick panels of AF2 absorbent felt, glued to the support surface. The total thickness is 15 mm.

Joins
Pencil-line joints are produced at the joins between adjacent lengths.
The edges of the Vibrasto fabric are inserted into U-section battens running along the length of the join. Centre-to-centre distance: 1,500 mm (except for the “Noir et blanc II” colour scheme, for which this distance is 1,400 mm).

Edging
L-shaped battens are fitted around the periphery of the clad surface
(and around door and window frames) and the edge of the Vibrasto fabric is laid into these battens.

Clad edging (for visible edging) option
Where an L-shaped batten is fitted along a visible edge, the batten can be ordered already clad with a matching fabric.

Outside corners
These corners shall be produced by stretching the covering over a corner batten provided by Texaa®.

Inside corners
These corners shall be produced as a pencil line joint.

Vibrasto 30 provides a comprehensive system for solving acoustic problems in echoing spaces, for use on walls and ceilings. It comprises a highly flame resistant, covering made of sound transparent Aeria* fabric, laminated onto wadding and stretch-fitted in front of a semi-rigid sound-absorbing material. Its simplicity and value for money in terms of acoustic performance makes this the ideal product for covering large surface areas with a perfect finish at a manageable cost.

The fabric covering is installed by stretching it between battens in front of 25-mm RI panels (impregnated glass wool) which are “dot and dab” bonded or fastened to the support surface. The total thickness is 30 mm.

Joins
Pencil-line joints are produced at the joins between adjacent lengths.
The edges of the Vibrasto fabric are inserted into U-section battens running along the length of the join. Centre-to-centre distance: 1,500 mm (except for the “Noir et blanc II” colour scheme, for which this distance is 1,400 mm).

Edging
L-shaped battens are fitted around the periphery of the clad surface (and around door and window frames) and the edge of the Vibrasto fabric is laid into these battens.

Clad edging (for visible edging) option
Where an L-shaped batten is fitted along a visible edge, the batten can be ordered already clad with a matching fabric.

Outside corners
There are two possible fitting methods:
◻ using a Texaa® supplied stand-off batten to produce a pencil line join.
◻ with no join, by stretching the covering over a corner batten provided
by Texaa®.

Inside corners
These corners shall be produced as a pencil line joint.

Vibrasto 55 provides a comprehensive system for solving acoustic problems in echoing spaces, for use on walls and ceilings. It comprises a highly flame resistant, covering made of sound transparent Aeria* fabric, laminated onto wadding and stretch-fitted in front of a thick sound-absorbing material. Its exceptional performance corrects the acoustics of spaces with significant reverberation problems, while minimising the surface area which needs to be treated.

The fabric covering is installed by stretching it between battens in front of two layers of 25-mm RI panels (impregnated glass wool) fastened to the support surface. The total thickness is 55 mm.

Joins
Pencil-line joints are produced at the joins between adjacent lengths.
The edges of the Vibrasto fabric are inserted into U-section battens running along the length of the join. Centre-to-centre distance: 1,500 mm (except for the “Noir et blanc II” colour scheme, for which this distance is 1,400 mm).

Edging
L-shaped battens are fitted around the periphery of the clad surface (and around door and window frames) and the edge of the Vibrasto fabric is laid into these battens.
